Second, and more importantly, there is a lenght, width, and height requirement, but I've never seen any scientific proof for exactly how to apply those to a pumpkin.
You are over-thinking this one.
Is any dimension of your pumpkin less than 9" if not then game over.
If so then is the next largest dimension under 14" etc ...
